Laying out the collection.

Fugio1787

Added a new 1837 VG 10 Bust Quarter. Thought I’d lay out the collection and admire it for a bit.

It is nice to do that from time to time. I do believe most people nowadays are content with looking at pictures of their coins, rather than enjoying them as you have today.

I’m not content with looking at photos, but it’s better than nothing. Trips to the bank aren’t terribly convenient. 1st world problems……

I’ve done what you did and try to get a photo every couple years. It’s fun watching it grow and improve. Well done!

I like your style.

I have 46 coins I have to send to PCGS for trueviews. Once I do that I'll be able to view images of my complete collection (I already have many trueview of my coins.) But it's still not the same as having them in hand.

Very nice!

I have some without TrueViews as well, and I would like to have them- but to take TrueViews they have to take them out of the holder, photograph them, and re-holder them correct? Then I would have to send them back to CAC, packaging, shipping, paying, sort of a hassle….

If one slab is 2.5" by 3.25", how much room would Hansen's set cover?

Each slab is 0.056423611sq.feet x 2821 coins (complete basic set) = 159.2 sq feet
...or 12.6 x 12.6 feet if I did my math correct.

You have a special one in there? 🙂

Very nice collection... and pictures just cannot compare to having the coin/slab in hand. Cheers, RickO

@Floridafacelifter I just asked PCGS about this issue of getting TrueViews of my coins that are encapsulated in old green holders (I said I wanted to keep them in the OGH holders), and they said they could shoot the coin in the holder!

Awesome- great news- thank you! I’ll give it a try at the FUN show

Always nice to enjoy what you have.
Not much fun to me if I never get to see them
